The problem seems to have been fixed by quitting and restarting Steam. I'm now at 8/9. So all is fine.

Could you publish some hints about the Tokyo raid directness medal. Specifically, which levels require the shortest path and which do not? There are contradictions in the accounts I've found online: some say the levels where all the towers must be killed as well as the levels where one must protect a VIP or the Transport are not taken into account for the direct route. But others insist that they are. And what about the levels where one is supposed to upgrade the units or to get to the bridge under 3 minutes?

So some general guidelines would be nice, for instance: for these types of missions, take the shortest route, but for those, you can take your time and kill everything if you want. It would make getting that medal a lot less frustrating.

Hi,Basically, it's about the shortest possible path in each part. So even if you need to get some designated targets, you should take them down doing possibly shortest path. When it comes to Ruthlessness, the medal is given by destroying all towers except parts when you need to beat the clock or there is some other blockade that makes it impossible. So anyway, to get ruthlessness gold you'd need to destroy all possible towers (for example - please take path that will allow you to destroy as many as possible in "beat the clock" parts and you'll be given gold).thanks
